"Ghost face, Sikong Xuan and Shen Tu Shao have always been inseparable. Maybe we happened to meet him when he went to Shen Tu Mansion. This kind of thing cannot be predicted by me."
Dongfang Zhe thought about it for a long time, but there was only one reason that could explain it. He raised his head, his ghostly face was still staring at him coldly, and he said immediately:
"Perhaps, we should start with Li Hun."
"A direct disciple of Dongfang Xuanli? If you are not afraid of death, you can try it yourself."
When Dongfang Zhe heard the words "Dongfang Xuanli" coming out of his mouth, he instinctively trembled, then touched his nose without making a sound.
"Humph, please, Second Prince, please be smarter when you speak in the future. I will continue to send people to assassinate Li Ruo. Please come back."
Dongfang Zhe heard the sarcasm in his words, clenched his fists, his face darkened, and then walked away without a word in reply.
The surroundings became quiet again. Ghost Face sighed and sat on the chair. Then he summoned the subordinate from before and slapped him hard:
"I told you not to hurt Liruo even a hair, and you actually went so cruel as to assassinate her?"
The man immediately fell to his knees and said:
"Master, my subordinates just said this when they saw the second prince here. They have given them numerous instructions to be careful in inviting Li Ruo back."
"Well, if you really can't help it, you can knock her out, but remember, don't let her get hurt, otherwise you will know the outcome."
"I obey my orders."
The man trembled subconsciously and then withdrew.

As night falls, the palace is brightly lit, just like daylight.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Jade is asking for an audience outside. She said she specially cooked ginseng soup to replenish your health?"
Dongfang Tianqi closed the memorial he was reviewing, and then spread out the memorial that had been placed aside for a long time. He closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair with a tired face.
Xiao Anzi understood what he meant, informed Concubine Yu, and closed the door for them.
"Your Majesty, you work hard day and night, I am afraid that your body will not be able to bear it."
Concubine Yu put the ginseng soup on the table nearby, then walked to him and pressed his shoulder while looking towards the desk.
"Concubine Yu, thank you for your trouble. I have many women in my life, but you are the most considerate one." Dongfang Tianqi held her catkins and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, don't you blame me?"
Concubine Yu looked at him in surprise. More than ten years had passed, and because of that incident, he was too close to her, let alone holding hands.
"What? Does Concubine Yu still want me to continue to blame you? We are already old." Dongfang Tianqi patted the back of her hand and sighed.
"Your Majesty, how come you have aged? You look just as handsome as when I first met you."
After hearing his words, Concubine Yu slowly touched his face with her hand and murmured.
"Handsome and handsome? Haha, isn't that Concubine Jade as beautiful as a flower as before?" Dongfang Tianqi put his hand on the back of her hand and held it tightly.
After hearing his words, Concubine Yu twisted her body and shouted angrily:
"emperor……"
Dongfang Tianqi exerted force on his hands and pulled her into his arms, but then he straightened her up and just let her sit on his lap, some distance away from his chest.
